That's a shame, wasn't aware of the news since I'm not in their discord server and don't really plan on joining it. Did he had enough or something?
Some rumors claim he felt guilty about the addictive nature of the game's mechanics he was working on like the egg gacha or the candies as a mechanic.
According to other rumors, he had a respectable ideological disagreement with the members of the dev team.
And according to the rumors of the Twitter Mob led by Akuma, spurred on by selective screenshots, he committed a "hate speech" against trans people.
After he left the team, it was this group that apparently decided to try to defame him on Twitter/X for revenge, thereby
politicizing the drama.
If this Twitter mob attack on Sam is true, I want to know the names of every single one of the moderators & the dev team members on PokeRogue that was involved with the Twitter mob.
And then I wanna know their connections to other fan games. Preferably through DMs because I personally am not interested in speaking about this matter any more than this publicly.
Because I don't want to be associated with people who are quick to throw others under the bus like that, no matter how righteous they believe their causes to be.
Also, I know that some of the people behind the Pokengine project have also been helping out with PokeRogue's development, so this is extra crucial for me to know in terms of
whether I will agree to play along with the Pokengine community or blacklist them from interacting with me entirely.
